ORDERED TO LUZON. Four Additional Companies Of Coast Artillery Are Sent Out WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.-The ordering of four additional compan ies of coast artillery to the Phillip ptnes marks substantial progress in the work of constructing fortifica tions in those islands. The national coast defense board estimated the cost of its project for the defense of Manila at $6,368,81? and for Subig Bay $2,248,190.

TRIAL OR MORSE ill CURTIS flEARS EHO EVIDENCE ALL IN AND COURT ADJOURNS UNTIL MON DAY NEXT. MORSE WAS ON THE STAND District Attorney Doei Not Con tinue Ctom Examination 'All of 'the Directors Knek the Detaila of the Wilson Loan. NEW YORK. Oct. 31. -Both prosecution and defense in the' trial of C, W. Morse and A. II. Curtis, charged with violating the Federal banking laws, rested their case early this afternoon, and court adjourned until Monday, when concluding ar guments will be made. This should place the case in the jury's hands by Monday night. District Attorney Stimson aban doned today his announced plan to continue the cross examination of Morse. Instead he annouced that he had no other questions to ask and the witness was turned over to coun sel for the defense. When Morse's attention was call ed by his counsel to the letter signed by himself and other director! of the National Bank of North America, declaring that Morse had no inter est in the K. A. Wilson loans, which was mentioned in connection c with the cross-examination yesterday, Morse said that although he had signed the letter, he did not know that it contained that particular par agraph. All the directors knew the details of the K. A. Wilson loan, he said, and had any of them known the denial of his connection with the Wilson loan was a part of the letter, he believed none of them would have signed it. Certainly he was not, he declared. Mr. Morse said he believ ed the letter was dictated by Cashier Wire. In answer to further questions he said he knew the guarantees he had given Curtis were not legal, he The work of the Democratic com mittee under the guidance of Chair man Mack according to those in charge was most harmonious and received unanimous praise from the Democratic leaders throughout the country. The publicity department of the Republican national commit tee has sent out from Chicago 16. 000,000 documents, exclusive of quan tities of circulars and buttons. ASTORIA, OREGON, SUNDAY, NOVEiBER 1. 1803 a bob u re bo. President's Son Denies that He is Engaged to Marry. HARTFORD, Conn., Oct, 31.- There is absolutely and positively not the slightest foundation in fact for such a report, was the way which Theodore Roosevelt Jr., took of em phatically and finally disposing of the report from Washington that hi was engaged to marry Miss Carrie A. Munn, daughter of Mrs. Charles A. Munn, of Washington, when he was seen at his boarding house ir Thompnonville last night. He had just returned from the carpet factory wher he is now working in the worst ed room. Young Roosevelt did not deny that he knew the young lady mentioned, but intimated that that was the extent of his acquaintance with her. He said he liked his new job of segregating worsteds at the mill very much; nevertheless considered himself mor ally responsible for the loans. This concluded the examinatio nof Morse. Both sides announced this after noon that they had no more evidence to submit to the jury. The court then adjourned until Monday. ELECTIOH FORECASTS AS SEEH M HIE Bl'iil SIEilS Both Parties Ara Confident of Victory Next Tues i lay by Large Majorities. CHAIROAN LIACK GIVES OUT HIS ESTIMATE Claims Seventeen States for Bryan Classified to Go to TafL- Republicans Sure of New York State for Both Presi dential and Gubernatorial Candidates. NEW YORK, Oct. 31.-The rival managers of the Republican and Democratic national campaigns issu ed today final claims of victory. Aeainst the 325 electoral votes claimed by Hitchcock for Taft, Chairman Mack set an estimate of 333 votes for Bryan. Mr. Mack's estimate of votes for Bryan does not iiffer materialy from his previous statements. He includes Maryland, Delaware. Missouri, in the solid South" and claims 17 states classified by Hitchcock as "Sure for Taft." These states include New York, Ohio, Indiana, Kansas, Nebraska, etc. New York state Is claimed tonight by both old parties for national and state tickets. The Republican man agers are apparently confident that Taft will have a substantial plurality and in the last week has grown more bold in their claims for the re election of Hughes, although he ad mits his vote will fall short of that polled for Taft Republican State Commitecman Ward went so far to day as to say that Taft will carry Greater New York. The Democrats have claimed ever since the renomination of Hughes, in the face of the opposition of cer tain leaders of his own party, that the governor will be defeated. They are willing to admit, he has gained during the last two weeks of the campaign but assert Chanler will be victorious by a large plurality, and that Bryan will receive the electoral vote of the state by a considerable margin. Mack, in giving a forecast tonight, declared it meant a landslide for Bryan. He said: "In my estimate of the electoral votes for Bryan I include in addition to 169 votes of the, solid South the BE 11 JIlLOll mm Imperial Chancellor Offers But Emperor Refuses. BERLIN, Oct, 31, According to the Nord Deutsche Algcmcine Zei tung, Prince von Bulow, the Imper ial Chancellor, today offered his res ignation to Emperor William in con sequence of the publication in Lon don of the interview with his ma jesty, for' which the Prince took the responsibility, s The Emperor would not- accept the Chancellor's resignation and at the same time permitted Prince von Bulow to publish a full explanation so as to meet the unjustifiable at tacks that have been made upon his majesty. It was announced conclu sively at the foreign" office tonight that the Chancellor would remain in office. FATAL FOOTBALL ACCIDENT. LEXINGTON, Val, Oct 31.-Ca- dct G.

He has hopes for Bryan in Illinois and California but places them in the doubtful column. Chairman Hitchcock today denied vehemently that negotiations have been carried on for ten days be tween the Standard Oil and the Re publican organization, as charged by Mack. Hitchcock claims Ohio, In diana, Montana, Nebraska, Ken tucky, New York and New Jersey. Secretary Loudenslager of the Re publican congressional committee says the Republican majority in the 61st congress will be greater than his estimate of several "days ago which was Republicans 227, Demo crats 164. The New York State campaign closed so far as the Democrats are concerned but Hughes proposes tt make ten speeches in Greater New York on Monday night.

THE CITIZENS ARE 'AROUSED Mayor Johns Issues Proclamation Urging the Shooting of Incendar les on the Spot Fire Department Efforts Unavailing. BAKER CITY, Or, Oct 31.-As a final climax to the many smaller fires which have caused uneasiness in this city recently, the elegant North Baker school building was destroyed by the incendiary's torch last night. causing a property loss of $20,000 with but $8500 insurance. The flames were first discovered under the cu pola and despite the work of the fire department the building was completely ruined. There is no clue to the criminal but the city is excit ed over the matter and should he be found it is probable that Mayor Johns' proclamation of several days ago, wherein he urged any citizen to shoot an incendiary on the spot, would be acted upon. Eight school rooms comprised the North Baker structure. It was one of four very fine school buildings in this city. FOOTBALL GAMES. Indiana 0, Illinois 10. Michigan 24, Vanderbilt 6.

OREGON CAMPAIGN NOT VERY AC U IE Confidence of Republicans Detracted Enthusiasm and Democrats Hake Weak Fight. PORTLAND, Oct. 31.-The cam paign in Oregon closed tonight with rallies in nearly all of the principal cities and towns of the state. For several reasons the campaign in Ore gon has not been very spirited. Oregon is normally Republican by a large majority and will doubtless re turn four Taft electors. This has detracted from the Republicans en thusiasm and has deterred Demo crats from making as vigorous a campaign as they would' had there been any hope of success.

THE M01LVI2CG ASTOlllAN, ASTOltlA. OREGON. SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1908, METHODS OF KM UE AIRED PRSEIDENT OF INSURANCE COMPANY STILL IS ON THE STAND. BIG SUMS WERE DEPENDED In One Year Sum of $870,000 Was Paid Out in "Expenses" Out of Total of $1,370,000 Collected Premiums. in CHICAGO, Oct. 31.-In a hearing yesterday before Master in Chancery eihler on the company's application for an injunction to restain Gustave Meyer from circulating; literature at tacking the financial soundness of the National Life Insurance Co. of the United States of America, Albert M. Johnson, president of the- company admitted of the premiums amounting to $1,370,000 collected in 1906, $S?0,- vaw was, paid out as,, expenses and that the holders of matured policies received only $500,00. D. K. Tone, attorney for Myers, asked Mr. Johnson on the witness stand: Ms it not a fact that in the year ending December 31, 1905, the com pany spent $600,000 in getting S394.- 000 in premiums on new business new policies?" j "That may be, but it always in- i a voivea large expense to get new business. 'Is it not a fact that you collec tea in premiums for the year 1906 about $1,370,000; that of this sum $870,000 was paid out as expenses and that all the holders of matured policies got was $500,000 T "Yes, I believe that'a correct" "In your reports issued between January 1, 1903 and December 31, 1905, the valuation of the National Life Building (a skyscraper in Chi cago) was marked up about $600.- $200,000 a year. Why was that done?" "Because the property appreciated just that much." "Did the company improve the building?" asked Mr. Zeisler. "No," said Johnson. "Is it not a fact," said Mr, Tone, "that an impending deficit of $496, 000 in the company's business in 1905 was converted into an apparent sur plus of $104,103 by tagging on the $600,000 to the value of the building?" "Well, if that building had not ap preciated we might have cut down the operating expenses." On the topic of the alleged disap pearance of funds Mt. Tone put the question to the witness: "In your 1906 report the receipts from all sources are given as $3,000,- 000 and the expenses as $2,700,000. Yet the surplus was only $50,000, Now, what became of the $250,000 here unaccounted for?" After some hesitation, during which Mr. Tone accused him of be ing an unwilling witness and striving to evade giving an answer, Mr. John son said he could not explain except on the theory that there were adcli tional expenses, of agents in getting new business and that those items had to be "ritten off." If you would let me explain, he dded, I should say that it is inevi table that large expenses be incurred a growing, new company, our company being practically new after the reorganization of 1903-04 in a campaign for new business." After listening to arguments Mr, Zeisler ruled that all books showing receipts and disbursements must be produced, "To explain apparent los ses, if they are explicable." ASTORIA III GO IE ELATED TEAM WAS TRIED OUT FINE LY AND THE BOYS MADE A GREAT SHOWING. COURT VS. COUNTRY. WASHINGTON, Oct 31.-Hon- duras has been allowed an extension of 25 days by the Cartago, Costa Rica Court of justice, in which to prepare her case in substatiation of the charges that she made last Sum mer that Salvador and Guatemala were promoting the revolution in Honduras. Honduras wanted three months extension, but Guatemala ob jected and the court compromised on 25 days. Within thirty days after this limit a decision will be made.

In more than one way the trip has been a re markably fine one and it has demon strated that the High School has the material for .a rattling good eleven. The'three games of the week have put them on their mettle and it should .prove a safe forecast to say that in the rest of the games sched uled for this season the Astoria Hiuh can be depended unon to show tin in surprisingly fine shape. It looks as if the school really has the mak ing of an eleven that the town can well be proud of. Despite the three gruellinir names of the one week the eleven arrived home last night in reasonably eood shape. There were no bad accidents and Lawrence Rogers, the .manager, was the only player to come home limping. He had the knee cap of his right leg thrown out of place dur ing the last half of the Eutrene game, but he stayed in the game to the end.- Had it not been for ttii dislocated knee cap Astoria might have won the game, too, for Law rence .had the ball and had won a clear field before him. He was shooting along clear of everybody hen the knee cap "went to the bad" again and he went down like a shot. the Astoria boys say the Salem game was simply a case of 'robbery.' Everything was. taken from them This game should have been theirs, they are willing to aver. Captain Abercrombie apparently is to be congratulated for the way he took the raw eleven and put them into shape. At Eugene the Astoria boys were treated in the nicest manner imag' inable, they say. The Astoria boys at the University practically took charge of them and made them very welcome. Much of the "rooting" at the game was for them, too. A t t nsioria wm nave a cnance to see what the eleven"? can do for there are several games scheduled to be played here this fall and winter. Astoria will play Portland Academy here on November 14. On Novem ber 21 a game is scheduled with the second Multnomah team at Port land, as a preliminary to the big game of the season between Oregon and O. A. C. Salem is expected to play here on Thanksgiving. On De cember 5th the second Multnomah eleven will play a return game in Astoria. There has been some cor respondence with Aberdeen and Ho quiam, but nothing definite has been reached yet with them.

KANSAS CITY, Mo., Oct 31.- Professor Charles Zublin, of Chica go, who was quoted by two Kansas City papers last week as having ad vocated in a university extension lec ture here the inter-marriage of the whites and black races, denies hot ly that he ever said anything of the kind. "It was a plain lie," he said last night, "manufactured to injure one whose views on many social and economic questions do not suit the conventions of men who are getting an undue advantage of society. "Right in this connection the atten tion of the thoughtful men and wo men of this counry should be aroused to the great menace to free speech and square dealing In this country.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.-Miss Claire Sillman, the Connecticut nurse who was arrested on a charge of lar ceny several days ago was yesterday sentenced in the criminal court to pay a fine of $50 or serve thirty days in jail for the theft of a 25 cent sou venir spoon. She was unable to pay the fine and was sent to jail. Miss Sillman first appeared in Washing ton October 20. Three little boys from Uppcrtown were before Judge Goodman in the justice court yesterday on a charge of having stolen a $10 gold piece from James Eleas, a fisherman, and before the boys got through with the proceedings they must have thought that "honesty is the best policy." They were John Flink. John Stanovitch and Johan Avanie. The boys were found guiltyv but sentence was suspended against them during good behavior, though their parents had to make good the stolen money, Eleas has a houseboat, it seems, and the boys have been in the habit of visiting him there, according to their stories. One day recently they went to the boat and found no one at home, and it was an easy matter to gain ingress to the floating resi dence. In a pair of trousers hang ing on the wall Stanovitch found the gold piece, and with it a plug of to bacco. He took both. He thought the money was a two-bit piece, he says. .Later tncy discovered it to De gold, and soon they 'changed it and each took a share, though it seems that Stanovitch kept a few cents the most. One of the boys bought ducks wih his share. Other boys of the neighborhood soon heard of the fa- bulus sums that the three lads had and soon the police heard of the money in the hands of the miscreants. In court the' lads admitted the crime, or aomittea snaring in ine proceeds. Each is about a dozen years old. The testimony tended to show that Eleas the fisherman had per- ,haps taught the lads to smoke tobac co. He denied vehemently that he had given them strong drink. At the conclusion of the matter Justice the fisherman, also came Goodman severely lectured the boys j part of the lecture, for hi for their misdeeds, and Mr. Eleas, The French bark Vincennes, laden with wheat for the United Kingdom, is due to arrive down this morning on the lines of the Ocklahama, and the Harvest Queen should also be down with the Germany ship Dah gill, bound, and loaded likewise.

The disciisilon of this mut ter bid fair to furnUh ume startling diicoverlc for while no one I de manding the nholislmtcnt of the Gr"and Jury system, there l a grow ing feeling that there is need for n clijtitKc.

But conviction! on these Indictments which went to trial amounted to only twenty-four percent, or'" leu than eigh thousand. In other words three out of every four irldictmcnti'.retuw' f 1 y the Grand Jury resulted in no nothing except expense to the state and to the indicted person. Ai a re sult there hai been a bowl-for New York is always ready to howl.

Of course there is1 a compli cated kind of politic underlying the whole matter, to complicated that no one know! what it is .In the mean time the 'average New Yorker ha! some very ittflinishing figures to ana lyze and with only onfl conviction out of every four indictments by the Crand Jury Father Knickerbocker is thinking of adopting as hii municipal aong "The Grand Jury Will Get You if You Don't- Watch Out.'' What is probably thcAoldest and most curioui municipal custom in the country itill exists in New York af ter more, than 240 years that of lighting the entrance to residence! of the city's mayori with large lampi. In no other city in the United States is this done. At present of course the custom is not one of utility, tut sim ply a lort of honor and distinction. The precise origin of this curloui custom is something, of a mystery, but it li believed to be a survival of a practice in the early dayi of the city during the days of the Dutch oc cupation. At that; time the burgomas ter wai the chief man of the town and carried ft lantern from the two meeting house! since the meetings then occurred at night-to his home, where it was hung on the top fence rail and left burning until morning. Its. light served as a guide to those who wishd to make a complaint or give warning of trouble. It is fairly certain that this custom has survived since 1668, at least, for at a sale ot antiquities one of the articles dispos ed of was described in the catalogue as 'a lamp, said to have been used to illumine the front of the house of Mayor Cornelius Steenwyck in Mai den Lane, and to have been used for the same purpose by three of his suc cessors." This would seem to indi cate that only the house of the active mayor wai thu! marked at that time. Aipresent the houses of the mayor and ex-mayori as well arc marked by the two large light! provided by the city.' The lamps in front of the Wickham family have been in place alnce 1875, when W. C Wickham be: came mayor. There are now nine sets of these mayors' lamps burning h the city every night. So far ai is known Robert A. Van Wyck was the only mayor who refused to have these lights in front of his residence. He opposed them on the ground that they no serve no useful purpose. While much has been said and written of the dependence of the rest nf the country upon the financial cen ters in New York and Chicago for providing the funds for industrial op erations little has been heard of the !j..j''nf -weal enteroriss in these cities upon the rest of the covin; try in supporting the credit upon which their operation depend. That 'this condition now exists and is growing more marked from year to year hai just been illustrated in a striking -way.

It would not be a handy coin to carry around, since this remarkable" piece is twenty-iix inches long by thirteen Inchei broad, and weighs the trifling sum of thirty-one pounds. A couple of dozen of these gigantic coins would make a very fair wagon load for a single horse to haul. As origin ally coined in 1659 by the Swedish government this piece of metal was worth about-two dollars. Only five were minted, and for this reason as much as for anything else their value has always been great. The New York specimen at a recent sale brought the modest price of fsuu.

Bending over brings on that awful stuff ed-up feeling and causes her face to get red and coarse looking. As a result many fat women, natur ally good housekeepers, let their homes tto rather than permit the work to make their lives a misery. A Brood many try exercising and dieting to get rid of the fat, but I want to say here that if housework will not take off jronr extra Mesh, exercising can not. liouseworx is the most strenuous Tana of exercise. I recommend every woman who .1 a tWtii wiih interest, because it lltiua deals with a problem of her own, to irive nn exercisinjr and dieting as being bad and injurious, and instead trv tho followins: simple mixture ot household remedies. I guarantee that in a reasonable length ot time they will have lost enough flesh in a na tural, wholesome way to enaoie them to go through their houseworK with pleasure and comfort to them selves. This home receipt, is as follows: i ounce Marmok, 1 ounce Fluid Cascara Aromatic, and 34 ounces Peppermint Water, and the fisn. (nr tnkintf are one tea spoonful after meals and at bedtime. Now, 'don't make the mistaice oi fliinklncr that because these three things are simple home remedies the combination of them can't be good for reducing the flesh for as a mat ter of fact I don't believe there is a better combination for taking off fat quickly and safely than the one 1 have given you above. It does not disturb the stomach or cause wrinkles, and it renders dieting and voivkinor entirely unnecessary, in addition to these advantages, which I am sure you will admit are enough a rei-nmmend it to any woman, it is inexpensive and easily obtainable at any drug store. ,j i UNCLE SAM TAKES HAND?

When this layer of paint was remov ed it was discovered that beneath were the, name of great artists Co rot, Diaz, Rousseau and otbers of equal prominence. It is believed that the paintings are of obscure artists and that the forged names were care lessly covered in a manner as to make their discovery certain, thereby en hancing the value of the paintmgs. ics and publisher of a pamphlet on vegetarianism, yesterday appeared at the Emergency Hospital and ask ed to be admitted to the County poor farm.

The rule of debt, with all its limi tations, applies to the community, in ttact ratio, as it does to the individ- sal Sophistry never changed the bearing and force of a fixed principle ef human action yet, and never will The tentative excuse for extrava gance and public debt always fails and fades at the approach of the in evitable hour of adjustment, of final payment, and the cold and hard fact ef the obligation, remains, a bitter residium o the specious doctrine that wrought it. Confication, in some fashion and degree, is invariably the end of the issue. The promise of improvement, ef expansion, of communal up-lift and advantage in the commercial sease, does not obviate the promise to pay. Nor does the fulfilled creed of public improvement always com feasate for the reckless indulgence that wrought it An impoverished fate, city, county, is on more ad mirable a thing that the debt-made personal slave who ekes out a wretched existance under the domin tea of a power that may not be gainsaid upon the plea of either lonor or expediency. Astoria and Astorians are up against a very crisis of the sort un der review; she must meet it in the eourse of her provisions for the fu ture, if her hands are hot altogether Bummed by the weight assumed in the past She will have to go deeply into her financial situation and save lierself in time from the overwhelm mg confiscatory conclusions now confronting her. It is not a pleasant suggestion to make; and only its im perative and impending presence eompels the utterance of the warn ing. The revision of the charter debts limits year by year will not save her; there must be something much more palpable done than that; the must get down to facts, figures and fiat conditions and we propose to see to it that these are furnished, and exploited, until there will not be a fraction of excuse left for the eontinuance of the policies that are driving her to the crisis. She is safe as yet; and to preserve that security there is to be a united and well de fined effort on the part of many of her best citizens, aided by this paper. There will be no mincing of the matter; it will be done in delib erate and straightforward fashion, in the open light of day, in a manner that will compel notice and thought and action on the part of those who have been far too indifferent or short sighted, or who have relied too much pon what has been told them. with the glare and bombast and hur rah of campaigning; we are able now to conn the threat and the promise of the hour and do not take the word of the "man higher up" as once we did. And for the sake of the unborn generations it is to be hoped we shall cultivate the safer and saner thought and course. We have need of the profounder impulse to crucial and critical analysis of men and measures and may well dis pense with the buncombe that used to satisfy and guide us. Even here in Astoria, away out at the end of the continent, the sense of individual capacity for delving and discovering the enlightened and eco nomic principle and its best expon ent is plainly apparent, and that faculty will be wtell exercised on Tuesday next. And we are conscious of the impending choice of Judg Taft in the grave premise. SPECIAL BARGAIN OFFBRIN for Monday. NOTE THESE VALUE GIVING BAEGAINS. n r Ml '3 TnkO TtrTvTrTTif ots worth to $35 each.

YOTJ MUST ANSWER WITH YOUR VOTE. THE THINKING HOUR. ET TU, BRUTE! If the Evening Budget does not take care it will be guilty of ex pressing a real opinion; a dangerous habit when the warping influence of an unforgotten hold-up Legislative session lends unction to the expres sion, or the equally potent promise of the city printing may be conceded to actuate that opinion. While we are at it, we will suggest to our evening contemporary that when it alludes to this paper in any way, it use our name, style and title. We will lend it this much courage by volunteering this permission! Bryan's election would convert the business of the United States into a huge conundrum, and the answer might not be forthcoming for years, Judging from the rocks, he throws Governor Haskell has fallen back upon the Rockies. At all events, he has struck a rock road. The way to lose a job and shut up the shop is to vote for Bryan. He is the storm center of public and business distrust. President Roosevelt is in his hap piest frame of mind when the people give him three cheers and add z tiger. Aftr a circle through the Middle West Mr. Taft is convinced that this is a mighty good year for Republi cans. Bryan has smashed his record and ruined the graphophone service by making 26 speeches in a single day. For the next 60 hours the average American will do a lot of thinking: many have done theirs and await only the hour and means of expres sion; others, having no mind nor dis position to think will do what they arc told by those nearest in influence and interest, in the matter of their voting, and eventually the whole people will have said their say in the great quadrennial crisis, and we shall know their will and the man that is to carry it out.

Some of Bryan's "Reforms," Bryan la reported aa saying In a ;peecb at Cincinnati that Mr. Taft was claiming credit for reforms Be (Bryan) had long advocated. The "reforms" with which, Bryan's name has been associated In the pub lic mind are the Wilson-Gorman tariff bill of 1803-4, which brought upon the United States the worst stagnation and depression of industry since 1837, the calamities of. that year having also been caused by a Democratic low tar iff, the scheme for which Bryan fought with such frenzy In 1800 to put fifty cent dollars in place of good money and pay all debts, including the wages of labor, in the depreciated currency: his proposal of 1000 to abandon the Philippines at a time when order bad been nearly twtored there at the coot of hundreds of our soldiers' lives and many uilllb::s of American money; his opposition In 1000 to federal legislation for the ro.itrnlnt of trusts: bis more recent proposition that the federal gov ernment should own all the railways. modified later by the proviso that the nation should buy all the big lines and the states the small ones; bis advocacy of a compulsory guaranty of bank de posits, enabling any scalawag to do business as a banker on the strength of a guaranty which would throw upon others the burden of his reckless ness or absolute dishonesty, and last, but not least, his amazing contrivance for "preventing" trusts by refusing to allow one corporation to handle more than 60 per cent of domestic trade In one particular article. If Mr. Taft has claimed any of these "reforms" the fact has escaped public notice. Bryan's title to all of them Is undisputed. It Is a list that carries with it the evidence from Bryan's own record of his pitiful Incapacity to grasp public questions ia a practical way, of his utter unfitness to be trust ed with the power of chief magistrate over the vast Interests that come with in the scope of federal authority. Mr. Taft's high standing and his certainty of election ere based on the fact that he is all that Bryan Is not; that bis past and bis present offer to the Amer ican people and to the world an exam ple of good citizenship, of able and un prejudiced conduct on the bench and of courage, firmness and sympathy In the direction of the great undertakings and momentous public- duties Intrusted to his charge, which prove his eminent fitness for the highest of all charges- the office of president If Bryan misses any of his "reforms" he will have to look for them In some other .ilrectlon than the Republican national neket.

Later in the day Mr.-Rinn went out on a case that was reported by wire and "picked up" two men whose descriptions had been sent in.

It is understood that the new man will be detailed to remain in the station much of the day, and part of .his duties vill be to keep the books, though this is a very simple matter, though including the hand ling of the licenses money, etc. With the station thus covered during much of the day it should not prove a dif ficult matter, to arrange to have the office kept open at least during thi early part of the night; or, if this is not done, there seems an imperative necessity of making some arrange ment whereby citizens may get 'n touch with the police in case of dfre need. At present if a citizen needs an officer the way to get him after dark is to go out and look for him on the streets. Acting Chief of Police Obcrg Stat ed yesterday that he may make some new assignment of beats for the men. In this way men who have had night work and bad beats for a long time may get a chance for some easier hours and duties. Recently ther have een several complaints made from Uniontown about lack of proper policing of that section of'the city,, In some small municipalities where the police force' is small and the men are necessarily kept out on the streets, various simple expedients are used to get in touch with the "officers in case of urgent need. For example, it may be arranged to phone to the telephone office. There the operator may touch a switch and turn on some red, or green, light promi nently displayed on the street. This is almost certain to be seen by offi cers within a very few minutes, and they can then quickly ascertain what s is wanted. This system is now used in several cities of the country, in ad dition to their signal boxes. IffllSFllTlifE,.

While it might have been possible to have convicted Marko as a fellow conspirator' with Singer, yet under the manner the case was brought this seemed impos sible and Marko went free. Thus both'men are out of the clutches of the Clatsop county law, though there is the bare possibility that Singer may yet be caught. Immediate rcljef and permanent cure assured.

THE MORNING ASTOH1AN. ASTORIA. OREGON." SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 8 i j Coming Attractions at Astoria Theatres. THE FLAMING ARROW." At the Astoria Theatre tonight the romantic rnclo drama, "The Flaming Anow," will be presented The play is from the pen of Lincoln J. Carter, that past master in the construction of melo dramas and novel effects. In addition to a company which is large and artistically strong, he has secured many novelttes with which to addi realism to the situation of the play. Among the features are Moon Dcg, a famous warrior; Red Flash, Custer's famous Indian scout. and the roan who carried Custer's last message. American plays by American aa .thors should ever be interesting events in a community where Ameri canism is a dominant characteristic J In cresentin "The Flaming Ar row. br Mr. Carter, the American author, theatre-goers will have 'chance to see an art creation worthy !of the sort The characters are 50 and strongly' chosen. White Eagle, the young Arraphoe, is a good type ,of civilized Indian as the stage has ever seen in a generation. His fath er, Black Eagle, represents that sec tion of the brave and fearless but not less beloved Indian, whose astute ness and faithfulness was reocgnized and rewarded by the United States Government Col. Freemont, repre sents a fine old type of active and war scarred soldier. His daughter, Mary, a womanly maiden, whose bravery and love for truthfulness are characteristic of American women, Such are a few of the prominent characters the author has happily chosen as representatives, together with a rescally Mexican, a treacher ens lieutenant, a fun-loving negro and a witty Irishman. years and during this time he has re ceived so many encomiums that what can be said is but reiteration. He has one of the most charming per sonauties ever bestowed upon a man appearing -before the public, and voice which must be a joy to the possessor, and is certainly unalloyed delight to the hearer. Rich, splen did range, it is assisted by the sixth sense, which enables the singer to convey the thought of the composer. With all his voice and the artistic method of using it, there is the tern perament, without which the singer never completely reaches his au dience. It is certain that Mr. Herse is a great artist Thousands have heard him and his fame is becoming pronounced. His program consists of songs that appeal to every sense of individual liking, English, Ger man, Scotch and Irish songs. He deserves a large attendance and we believe our people will patronize him liberally. -MA'S NEW HUSBAND" One enthusiastic newspaper critie .who saw "Ma's New, Husband" last season pronounced it Th Napol eon of laugh-makers."

It is conceded to be one of the funniest comedies on tour this sea- on; and the hit made by this orga nization has been most pronounced. A critic speakig the other day of Facing the Music, said "Those who attended the Bijou theatre last night were not disappointed in any way. James J. Corbett, well supported by an excellent company, certainly pleased and amused the audience in an extremely funny play, "Facing th Music." Mr. Corbett as John Smith displayed great ability as a come dian. Too much cannot be said of the merits of the play, and the com pany, ana tney are deserving of packed houses everywhere." Mr. Corbett' s supporting company includes Joseph I. Sullivan, Cor win Cushmore, Geo. C.

Everything is new, the book, the lyrics and music. The song hits number a score. It is promised in advance that the general tone of "Ma's New Husband" is thoroughly dean and mirthful. The performance! appeals to everyone who seeks di vertisement from home and business cares. "Ma's New Husband" has a well constructed plot and holds the interest until the fall of the last curtain. Herbert Short, an actor out of a job, and Marie Longfellow, a widow, are engaged to be married. He has hard luck on the road and she has had worse in her experience as mistress of a New ork boarding house, go the happy day is postponed until fortune smiles or the "ghost walks."

GREAT SINGER COMING. Otto F. L. Herse, than whom few tenor singers have more admirers with the original production and all accessories complete, will be at the Astoria Theatre next Sunday night. WAITING ON ELECTION. New York Stock Market Conforms To The General Situation. NEW YORK, Oct. 31.-The stock market during the week has been I disposed to wait on the result of the election's but with a feeling of confidence in improved conditions after they are passed. Some profit taking sales were in evidence promp ted by the high level at which pri ces ruled and by apprehension that such selling after the election would overbear the expected new demand. The action of the market in face of these gales indicated the unrestricted control of powerful financial forces which have dominated the market for all over the continent, is to render a months.

The information higher prices for copper and improv is the main topic of conversation j ing gross earnings of railroads were among our people. Mr. Herse has 'the conspicuous indexes of the im- been before the public for many proving tendency of business. The fact that the Astoria High School football eleven was material ly lighter in weight has been freely commented on as one of the causes of defeat in the Eugene game, and probably in the Salem game. For the past week or more there has been another side of the matter quietly animadverted upon, though the merits of the discussion may per haps be in doubt All of the High School pupils that are interested in athletics fee! that most of the members of the football team," said a gentleman yesterday who is familiar with the subject, "apparently are rightfully on the team. They have the skill and the weight to justify placing them on the eleven. But it is complained among some of the High School pupils that some who are on the team have no right to be on at alt. It is charged that they get on simply because they belong to a certain 'clique.' "If this is true there is something radically wrong. A boy whose fath er chances to be a fisherman or a farmer ought to have the same chance to make the football team boy whose father may happen to have a little more prominent position in the world. If it is true that a cer tain 'clique runs football in the As toria High School the school and the town might as well drop interest in the matter." Yesterday a representative of the Astorian made some enquiries in the matter. It is plain that there is an undercurrent of feeling over the question. The subject has also been broached to one or more members of the school 'authorities. Probably some investigation will be made, and it is to be hoped that the accusations' are without foundation.! As nearly as could be learned yes terday no complaint is made that some of the best players were kept off the team when selections were made; but that in the school arc quite a few youths who have weight. strength andthe requisite skill, but that they receive no encouragement to get into the gamerather they are discouraged from entering the sports and as a remit, the school athletics have not calted out some of the boys who might bring much credit to the school.

She raised bcr lashes just a tiny bit and met a respectful but undeniably admiring glance from Jlmsle's brown eyes,, 8ho tried to look across the aisle at the lmpatlcnt'passengers, then down the bay, but the sun danced so madly on tbe blue water that It hurt her eyes. And as she bad to look somewhere she looked down again Into the brown eyes of tbe young track foreman. Then, with a jerk, the Lena Belle plunged forward Into the current, rail way men shouted orders, there, were a creaking and rattling of machinery and chains, and tbe 7:08 plunged on toward town. Jlmsle waved a friendly band after the .retreating Lena Hello. Good old boat! It bad given blm a good chance to study the little girl at close range, and he had hot been disappointed. What was more, he knew that she bad taken his measure and would know him the next time they met Now, the books on etiquette and tbe learned women writers for magazines tell you that you must be properly In-1 troduced to a man. You must be chap-, eroned, and the more pretty you are the more rigid must be tbe chaperon- age...- -a But the workaday world, changes many of these things. Jlmsle began to plan on meeting the owner of the gray eyes somehow, somewhere, without the aid or consent of a chaperon. If you love a girl you love her and you win her-that was Jlmsle's lexicon of good form. f And Betty fell to dreaming of the good looking young chap who was watching for her every morning when the 7:08 approached the bridge. First their eyes carried the message,' then they smiled, and finally i they nodded every morning. When tbe spring weather made It excusable to open a wludaw Dotty took to gathering a .few eurly blos soms, every morning and dropping them over the sill as the train passed the track foreman's shanty. Jlmslo was resourceful, but be con Id find no oue who kuew-wbere the girl lived, and he did not dare desert hit rioat to come near the window and speak even if tho train stopped long i enougn tor uus iobu Well, there was ouly one tblug-be'd take a day off soon and post himself st the ferry entrance when the 78 pulled In. 1 She could do no more than turn blm down, lie argued, and some how eni'b day' glance luto the soft fray eyes assured blm this fate would tot bo his. In tho meantime Betty was doing hor share of thinking and planning, and at last she wrote to MIns (Jwomlo. Un Graves,, who conducted the'lltart and Home page of tho Krcnlng Kluxer. "Wheii a young man Is so desperately In love with you that It Junt whim out of hl eyes and beams In his siutlo, but you dou't know bint or any oue who does know blm, but just see htm every day on your way to work, what do you dot lie might toss you a uote-but then every one on the train would It and think you were a flirt, and not for worlds would you toss hi in a note.f And there was a stamped and addressed envelope, and please would Miss, Gwendoltn write very soon! And Miss Gwendolln did, for the lit tle letter had tho ring of self respect and sincerity In It But, alas I Miss Gwendoltn, wrot that the man would find a way If ho really loved ber, ss his eyes proclaimed, and a certain fate was prolmbly working (his very mlo ute to bring them together. Above nil things, Betty was not to worry. Th!to would come out right. V Not a very satisfactory or practical V reply. Yet Hetty, took comfort and carried It In bt-r purse all day. If fate was willy at work she would try to wait and i patient but Jlmsle's ador ing eyes intuit this very bard Indeed. That night she ulept with the little uote under ber pillow and the next umrutug tucked It buck luto ber puree, j As the long train pulled on to the tres tle she took a fresh grip on the purse. It somehow seemed a connecting link between herself and the man who she knew would be waiting for her by tbe weather brnten shanty. r f Were evtir eye so brown as bis or f teeth ao white and regular? Then her thoughts came to a sudden grinding, terrlfylug stop. There ws something f wrong. They were not slowing up a f thoy approached the little shanty, but 1 raring on with a madness which broke I all rules end regulations. f Then screams arosav Men rushed to I the frout of tho can, They seemed to I be lifted Into space, then horrible j nolHcs, sbrh'M, curses, and an awful f plunge, a blow that she hardly felt, because It was so terrificand black- nee,; When she wok up, sh looked straight Into the brown eye of which she bad been dreaming when tb blow fell. "Darling," h was saying, and her eye went open very wide desplt the dreadful pain In ber bead "darling, I thought I'd never get to you. Tell me you're alive! Tell me yon ain't hurt much!. Tell me you love me!' Betty gasped, t Fat must hav been very busy whlle'sbe slept She reached for ber purse and touched ber drees, now drenched with water. She reached for ber lint It was gone, and ber bslr was dripping water too. Then she realized that the owner of the brown eyes was dripping likewise. "Something went wrong.. The train went tbroUKti the draw," be explained rapidly. "There's a lot drowned, and the ambulance are coming. They'll take you away, and I've got to go. They'll take you to the hospital 'cause your bead Is cut, but first you tell m you're all. right you're going to get well. And what's your namot I'm coming to tho hospital tonight Seel" "My name's Betty Larned, and I guess I ain't hurt much, but you can't come to the hospital. We'v never been Introduced." Bhe felt very faint. Tbe clatter of an ambulance tearln around tho bank made Jlmsle jump, and ho gathered her close to his arms In the midst of tbe awful seen of wreckago aud death. "Say, this ain't the- time for being fussy," he murmured earnestly. "1 love you, and I thought I was going to lose you. I'm Coming to the hospital soon as I get off. Seel". Betty looked up Into tho big brown eyes, and a fluttering smile crept around ber white Hps. "Yes, dear," she said and closed ber eyes.: i: The ambulance surgeon bent over her. i v. "I'll take care of ber," be said sharp ly to Jlmslo. Jlmsle laid tho unconscious form be side another In tbe ambulance. Then ho gripped the young surgeon's sleeve. "Say, you be careful with ber. She' my girl See!" What Would You Do? In case of a burn or scald what would you do to relieve the pain? Such injuries are liable to occur in any family and everyone should be prepared for them. Chamberlain's Salve applied on a soft cloth will relieve the pain almost instantly, and unless-the; injury is a very severe one,.1. will cause the parts to heal without leaving, a scar.

It was decided to shoot all dogs that remained un claimed at the end of thre days and the result was a dreadful slaugh ter.
